47 tabs open. One of them has that article you need. Good luck scrolling through them all to find it.
There's a faster way: search all your tabs at once with a keyboard shortcut. Here's how.
What you'll need
- Chrome browser
- Daysift extension (free)
1 Install Daysift
Head to the Chrome Web Store and click "Add to Chrome." Takes about 10 seconds.
2 Press the shortcut
From any page, press:
The search bar appears instantly, ready for your query.
3 Type what you're looking for
Search by page title, URL, or keywords you remember. Results appear as you type.
Daysift searches both your open tabs and your recent history—so you can find pages you've already closed too.
4 Press Enter to open
Use ↑ ↓ to navigate results. Press Enter to open. Press Esc to close.
If the tab is already open, Daysift switches to it. If it's from history, it opens in a new tab.
Bonus: search your history too
The same shortcut searches your browsing history. Found that article three days ago but closed the tab? Just search for it.
The free plan keeps 14 days of history. Pro unlocks unlimited.
That's it
No more tab hunting. No more squinting at tiny favicons. Just:
- ⌘J
- Type what you want
- Done
Faster than scrolling. Every time.
